Maliketh the Black Blade Tips

[dxmc]

I can get through the first phase of this consistently but I can't get anywhere in phase 2. Level 110, 40 Dex, 34 Vigor. Blood Uchikatana +25, Sword of Night and Flame +10, Moonveil katana +10, among others. Even with my Mimic tanking I still can't seem to do much to him, I just can't find openings, he never stops flying around and spamming one shot attacks. Not looking to co-op, just wondering if anyone has some good tips for this one. I've looked around the internet but didn't find anything too useful. Thanks in advance.

Use straight up physical damage; definitely NO holy as he's strongly resistant to it.

Black flame effect (incantation or effect) does damage over time based upon his max health, so it's handy for some beefy end game bosses who seem resistant to most other damage types.

Black Blade Tiche did decent damage, and did a damage over time effect, so the trick for me was getting past phase 1 as fast as you can, so Tiche is still healthy, while using a minimal number of healing flasks for myself. Avoid being hit by him, but also punish him back when he turns his attention to your summon.

OMG, finally got him. Wow that really took a while. Respecced to increase vigor a little and decrease dex. Turned my +25 blood katana into a fire katana. With me and my mimic beating on him with fire katanas he finally went down. That was easily the toughest fight so far.
